Learnable Dependency-based Double Graph Structure for Aspect-based Sentiment Analysis

Abstract

Dependency tree-based methods might be susceptible to the dependency tree due to that they inevitably introduce noisy information and neglect the rich relation information between words. In this paper, we propose a learnable dependency-based double graph (LD2G) model for aspect-based sentiment classification. We use multi-task learning for domain adaptive pretraining, which combines Biaffine Attention and Mask Language Model by incorporating features such as structure, relations and linguistic features in the sentiment text. Then we utilize the dependency enhanced double graph-based MPNN to deeply fuse structure features and relation features that are affected with each other for ASC. Experiment on four benchmark datasets shows that our model is superior to the state-of-the-art approaches.
